What does the leadership team need to get better at?
They need to have a vision beyond "sell more"
Review from Engineering Dept
Leadership needs to have more of an eye towards the future rather than being content with the status quo
Review from Sales Dept
Leadership has gotten comfortable and isn't pushing for innovation
Review from Sales Dept
The leadership team needs to focus more on employee growth. There's a culture of fear about speaking out to fix even the smallest cultural problems
Review from Sales Dept
The leadership is lucky they have a great team under them. They did a good job at hiring but their direction and vision is worrying
Review from Sales Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Having a 401k match program. Signal Sciences offers fully paid healthcare for employees and their families. That's amazing and all but for someone who is single, I'd benefit more from matching.
Review from Engineering Dept
It's alright, but other companies offer more and I'd consider going to one of them
Review from Sales Dept
I've been at the company for nearly two years and have never gotten a raise
Review from Sales Dept
My friends at other companies with similar backgrounds make about 10% more than I do
Review from Sales Dept
Other companies pay 20-30% better
Review from Engineering Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
The feedback I receive is often vague and unactionable. I have to actively seek out feedback rather than it being provided
Review from Sales Dept
There is a lot of wasted time with no clear action items. The tasks are often too easy and the lack of roadmap leaves people waiting around or doing tasks intentionally more slowly than they should
Review from Engineering Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
There's a lot of culture problems that the company refuses to talk about. It's difficult to voice opinions about culture and a threat of being let go
Review from Sales Dept
The culture feels a bit sterile. Some people are really bought it, but for too many people it's just a 9-5 and their life doesn't intersect with work
Review from Sales Dept
It's an environment that deeply lacks comradery
Review from Sales Dept
It's too quiet and with so many remote employees it's hard to have a sense of culture
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
I don't think the bar was sufficiently set during the interview
Review from Engineering Dept
It needs to be more rigorous. The easy and textbook interview questions explain the mediocre engineering
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The company isn't innovating, which is a shame
Review from Engineering Dept
It's just boring. I'd prefer to work on something a bit more exciting
Review from Sales Dept
We're no longer innovating and I'm worried someone else will
Review from Sales Dept
Though the mission is appealing, the vision is lacking and I'm not sure how I'm contributing to the mission.
Review from Sales Dept
Rather than a sales team helping each other land the deal, there is a lot of competition for within the team, which makes the company feel very distant
Review from Sales Dept
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Cadence of business updates has improved post Covid - please keep it up management team.
Middle management is atrocious across departments. Political feuding and snark inhibit more and more velocity as the layers of "leadership" are introduced.
Review from Engineering Dept
I'd like people to really drive each other for excellence
Review from Sales Dept
I'd like the company to demonstrate more clearly that it values me as an employee
